BOXING MATCH.
Tho Manawatu Boxing Association did not hesitate when Bill Pluto requested a 1 fight with the one boxer in New Zealand, > Jack McMahon, to gain a decision over i i his brother, Cyril Pluto. McMahon is do- ! finitely on tho map as one of the most , promising fighters in the Dominion. What is going to make the bout against Bill Pluto so interesting, is that tho lattor is just such another fighter as McMahon. Bill Pluto has never been knocked out yet, so apparently ho can stand punishment, r and as. “grit” is McMahon’s middlo name, ■ and ho is known as a hard puncher, tho indications all point to the coming fight, ! oil Wednesday next, being one of tho best 1 ever seen in Palmerston North. That both > the boys arc fit is obvious from their ; training. The box plans are now open at 1 i Messrs Collinsou and Cunninghame’s bookj ing office.
